the survivors of Pickett's division to
the field of Gettysburg on the invita-
ton of the Philadelphia Brigade marks
the growth of the new feeling. But
the change has been most conspicuous
w demonstrated by the character and
the limitations of the pow-wow about
the flags. It,was led by General Fair
child, professional old soldier. 1t
was helped on vociferously by corp.
Tanner, another professional old SOL
der and chronic office-seeker. And
it was kept up by newspaper editors to
whom, as to the two gentlemen we
have named, the incident seemed to
have been providentially furnished in
an unprecedentedly ''dry time," for
partisan use against the Demo-
cratic party. But the great mass or
the people of the North were wholly
unaffected by these ''frenzied appeals
to passion" They were moved neither
by apprehension for the permanencyOf
sort of tympathy with those who were
engaged in the traffic in hate. The
good sense of the South in treating the
outbreak with the contempt it dev-
served responded to this feeling of in
difference at the North. The loyal cit
liens of both sections of the country
saw clearly that the agitators wefe
bawling about thing that didn't ex-
list They could make no sane person
believe that Grover Cleveland was a
''eopperhead'' or that there was any

falseness was everywhere recognized,

john Sherman waves the bloody
shirt while his General brother tries to
hold it down. The garment should be
boxed up with the captured flags and
be seen no more.-M o. Ptcayu1e.
Senator Ingalls, says the colored
man as a voter is a failure.-Rot
Springs Nes0s. And the reason why
the Republicans think he is failure is
that he is rapidly getting his eyes open
and becoming a Democratic T.
Herald.
With singular unanimity East,
West, North and South. the Demo-
cratic party is declining to fight the
war over again. Nevertheless, let the
shirt-shaking proceed until the shirt
shakers are tired of it--ISL Louis Re
publican.
General Sherman says that the
war is over, while his brother, Senator
Sherman, says it is not over. AS be-
tween the two, it is doubtless better to
accept the statement of the one that
was there. About the only persons
who think the war is not over are
those who weren't there. Chicago
Times.
The departments under Demo-
cratic control are making an excellent
showing for the past fiscal year. In
one division of the Land Office 1,542
patents were issued last year, as against
$50 the preceding year, and 1000 more
letters were answered than in 1886.
This increased work was done with
fewer clerks. Washington Post.
Senator Sherman says the entire
supervision of the election of members
of Congress should be with the United
States Government. John evidently
pines for the return of the days when
every ballot-box in the Southern States

citing armed bands of ignorant and
drunken negroes to violence and blood
shed. That time has gone, however,

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
why the Republican Party PronounseS
1t an Unqualified Failure.


81 have no hesitancy in declaring
that in this country negro suffrage has
been an absolute and unqualified fall
ure," said Senator ingalls, in a speech
at Abilene, Kan. Why does a bitter
Republican partisan pronounce negro
suffrage an absolute and unqualified
failure when his party has received
the negro vote almost solid, North and
South, for nearly twenty years? 1t is
becoming million of negro votes
cast for the Republican party at every
election for so many years have failed
to secure the negro any share in the
office at the disposal of the party? No.
If that were the reason for Mr.. In
gals declaration. how eloquently and
bitterly would he denounce his party
for its treatment of the humble
but faithful race to which it owes so
much. Aside from its failure to secure
recognition in the way of nominations
and offices from the Republican party,
negro suffrage has failed in but one
other respect. 1t has failed to keep
the Republican party in power afterits
own blunders and crimes had turned
three-fourths of the white voters of the
country against it. AS for keeping the
Republican party IN power, white suf-
frage has been still more absolute
and unqualified failure than negro
suffrage. The colored man has done
his best, but to require him to keep in
power party that persistently arrays
against itself an overwhelming major.

numerous white race, is asking too
